→ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EVENING AND DAY TOUR IN THE MILE END?

Both tours are amazing in their own way. We offer both tours to make it easier for guests to add our food tour into their schedule. The Mile End Food Tour (daytime) is longer and invites guests into the historic Rialto theatre, Lawrence butcher that features locally-raised meat, and a few other hidden gems. The Evening Mile End Tour invites guests to experience the Mile End’s urban evening culture when the streets come alive. This tour is shorter, but still incorporates all the delicious food stops that’ll leave you full and satisfied. We even throw in a craft beer sample to kick-off your evening!
